1. Susan's dad came over to hang out and play for the morning.2. Sophia, with ill-gotten Cheerios in hand, spun around in the kitchen like a whirling dervish, giggling and falling over repeatedly. I think she was trying to keep the Cheerios away from me. 3. Rainer passed out while reading, when I found him, the book was laying on top of his face. Susan took pictures, so they may be on Facebook in a few days.4. I stayed home with the kids and Susan went out to a Waldorf study/play group. She met some really intense hippies from my understanding. They apparently out-hippied her by a lot. 5. Drank a couple beers (Killian's).6. Played Dawn of War 2, Gish, and Mr. Robot.

1. Erin, Stella, and Elliott came over to play / hang out for the morning / early afternoon.2. Our new vacuum cleaner arrived. It looks like some sort of contraption that should cause natural disasters rather than clean floors. 3. Went out to eat a El' Camino. I tried Dos Equis because I love the "Most Interesting Man in the World" videos and their web site. The beer itself was good, it reminds me a lot of Killian's Irish Red (currently my favorite beer). 4. After the kids went to bed, I played Dawn of War 2 for a few hours and Susan painted.

1. Susan's parents took Rainer to the state fair. They took the train. They did not "wrassle" greased pigs or eat fried Pepsi (fried Pepsi was really at the state fair this year, I don't know how you would fry Pepsi but whatever). 2. Susan, Sophia, and I went to get Indian with mom, Jessica, Christopher, Halie, and Cooper. Mom got me a new hat. This new hat is much like my old hat... But newer.3. We picked Rainer up after lunch. 4. Susan convinced me to go with her to Allisonville Nursery to buy some plants. We got rained out, but not before buying some shade-tolerant, arid soil loving, perennials. No, I don't know what that means, but Susan and the nursery lady repeated it enough that it's stuck in my head. 5. Played Dawn of War II for a couple hours.

1. Downloaded, installed, and updated Dawn of War II (DoW2).
2. Fought with Games for Windows - LIVE for a while so that I could get multiplayer working for DoW2. I didn't like Games for Windows - LIVE before (when I encountered it within Fallout 3) and I like it even less now. I did, however, eventually manage to add DoW2 to my account and sign in.
3. Due to the time I spent fighting with Games for Windows - LIVE, I didn't actually have any time to play DoW2.
4. Ordered out for pizza at Papa John's.
5. Watched a couple episodes of Desperate Housewives with Susan.

NC Trip 2009, Day 5:1. Bought 10 Indie games off of Steam for $30. Susan snatched my computer to "check her email," but I found her playing Blueberry Garden.

Jennifer and Kyle came over in the afternoon to hang out for a while. They left before dinner.4. Everyone abandoned me outside with the three kids, five random neighborhood kids, and a million mosquitoes for what felt like an eternity.

Played a bit of Crayon Physics and Audiosurf. Crayon Physics rocks, but I really need to get Blind Guardian and Avantasia on my computer before I can judge Audiosurf.6. Drank another beer after the kids went to bed, watched Firefly, and went to bed.

Professor Ray of Cake - Blog Entry 1
1. The professor sent Cake of Justice into a stink pit. Justice was ruined. Cake swore vengeance against the dryad who owned the stink pit with a few choice words.
2. Once the dryad was dead, PRoC baked a coffee cake using the dryad to fuel the fire. After breakfast, he used Make Whole to "resurrect" Cake of Wrath (a red velvet cake).
3. Professor Ray of Cake almost set a forest on fire because the party thought the forest was alive.
4. PRoC almost set a bakery on fire because the owner sold cheesecake (an abomination in his eyes) and fruit cake. Jack Deth bribed the guards into letting everyone go.
5. Back at the tavern, PRoC hired a prostitute to have erotic conversations about cake.
